hi guys - bit of an update

I have got a set of single headlight grills on the way - should be here tomorrow. They are New Old Stock although im in two minds if the staggared headlights should stay or not!

Also bagged some twin sidedraft inlet manifolds - need carbs and associated apparell - the car isnt slow slow but defo needs a bit of power - and i've decided that a bit of bling / shiney stuff under the bonnet will give it that extra wow when you open the engine bay.

I bought a set of alloys for the bmw the other day. kinda fell in love with them - so had to have them.

They are pretty rare german three piece rims - 15x7 et 25mm so im going to have to run 20mm spacers with stretch tyres or a 12mm spacer and standard size tyres.

probably not be fitting these for a while yet (got bills to pay lol) but heres a teaser.

im also on the hunt for a -60mm lowering kit if anyone has anything please let me know.

Stilll havent got rid of that rear spoiler yet lol.

Looks a lot neater. Think about maybe painting the valance inserts black? Change the look again whilst retaining it's originality :idea:

haha style!!! i wouldnt know what is even if it bit me in the ass. lol

Hopefully i wont muck up an e21 - i couldnt find any lexus lights for it anywhere in halfords.

That painting the bits on the valance in black is a pretty good idea you know Arshad. If you dont mind me copying it - gives me something to do too.

You won't be copying me in the slightest, it is standard E21 trim AFAIK. I see some lovely looking E21's without them painting and to me it doesn't quite hit the spot :D
